Die Finne ist ein sanfter, waldreicher Höhenzug zwischen Thüringen und Sachsen-Anhalt – perfekt für entspannte, aber abwechslungsreiche Touren.
Diese Runde startet am Finnewanderweg nahe Forsthaus Rettgenstedt und führt zunächst hinauf auf den Finnberg. Oben wartet ein schmaler Kammweg mit schönen Ausblicken in die umliegenden Wälder.
Danach geht es steil hinab…

Hohe Schrecke im Winter ❄️
Start war in Gehofen.
Auf einem neuen Radweg ging es zunächst nach Nausitz, anschließend auf einem wunderbar zu gehenden Weg stetig bergauf bis an die Waldkante der Hohen Schrecke. Begleitet wurde der Anstieg von grandiosen Ausblicken über das Unstruttal.
Im Wald verlor sich der Weg kurz, bis ich auf den…

Today we whizzed south!
Arriving in Bautzen, we continued south along the Spree Cycle Path.
The landscape gradually transformed into the typical hilly profile of the Lusatian Mountains. Little by little, more and more half-timbered houses appeared – a truly impressive, unique architectural style. Many

A varied autumn tour through Sorbian Lusatia.
From Radibor, we cycled past the baroque Neschwitz Castle to Ralbitz with its impressive cemetery – identical white wooden crosses in a quiet row.
We continued through Rosenthal, Räckelwitz, and other well-kept villages rich in culture, tradition, and nature

From Wattwil to Herisau – the final elevation gain of a long journey
We start in Wattwil, the bustling center of Toggenburg life, and from there we let ourselves be drawn up into quieter climes.
Hectic small towns aren't our cup of tea. Which is precisely why – at the latest after the second bend and what

From Rapperswil to Wattwil – Scenic Route Along the Heart Route
This tour begins in Rapperswil, where palm trees along the harbor promenade and the view over Lake Zurich exude an almost Mediterranean flair. After a final look at the water, the very long but rewarding climb into the Zurich Oberland begins

The tour starts in the morning at the impressive Einsiedeln Monastery – the air is fresh, and rising clouds of mist tell of the night's thunderstorm. At lofty heights, the trail leads up to the historic Etzel Pass, offering stunning views over Lake Sihl. There, the legendary Devil's Bridge and the birthplace

The day began with thunderstorms and rain – not exactly the best weather for cycling, but ideal for cooling off on the first climb. But soon, Switzerland showed its most beautiful side again.
On the Heart Route through the heart of Switzerland: from Lake Zug up through lovely hills, across tranquil moorland

We've arrived in Zug! :)
The stage from Willisau to Zug shows the Heart Route at its most enjoyable: a bit flatter, but absolutely scenic. From beautiful Willisau, the trail leads over gentle hills with magnificent Alpine views, past chapels, shrines, and the historic town of Sempach.

We started in Burgdorf – past the castle and out of town, directly into the tranquil hilly landscape of the Emmental Valley. From the beginning, the route climbs and descends steadily on small side roads and paths. The landscape is vast, green, and very varied – with beautiful views almost throughout

We started in Langnau and cycled towards Burgdorf on one of the most beautiful stages of the Heart Route. The route leads through the heart of the Emmental Valley – a picture-perfect hilly landscape with expansive meadows, mighty farmhouses, and relaxed cows grazing along the path.
The route is challenging

Today we set off from the medieval Romont plateau – a town that still looks like something out of a knight's tale. 🏰
The route began with a gentle but steady descent and soon led us through wooded passages along the lively, babbling Arbogne River. Near Avenches

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Upper Lusatian Heath and Pond Landscape
Our final tour today took us through forests, past meadows and fields, often accompanied by romantic, hidden groups of ponds. The path led us past many scenic gems. With a little luck, you can spot sea eagles circling high above at any time
